Title: Re-add Doom and Quake Games to Toska.dev

Issue Description:

In 2023, the classic games Doom and Quake were removed from Toska.dev, a website aimed at supporting a startup within our university. These games have been a significant part of the site's attraction and engagement, and their removal has led to noticeable discontent among the user base. Here are several professional arguments for reinstating these games:

1. Historical and Educational Value:

  • Technological Milestones: Doom and Quake are seminal works in the history of gaming and computer graphics. They introduced numerous technological advancements, such as real-time 3D rendering and multiplayer capabilities, which are now industry standards. Including them on Toska.dev can provide educational insights into the evolution of gaming technology.
  • Programming and Design Learning Resources: Both games have open-source versions, which serve as excellent resources for students learning about game design, graphics programming, and software development. They can study the source code and gain hands-on experience by modifying and extending the games.

2. Engagement and Retention:

  • User Engagement: The presence of these classic games on Toska.dev significantly enhances user engagement. They attract a broad audience, including both nostalgic players and new users interested in the history of gaming. Increased engagement translates to higher traffic and longer user sessions on the site.
  • Community Building: Doom and Quake have dedicated fan bases and active modding communities. Reintroducing these games can foster a vibrant community around Toska.dev, encouraging collaboration, content creation, and knowledge sharing.

3. Market Differentiation:

  • Unique Value Proposition: Including Doom and Quake distinguishes Toska.dev from other educational and gaming platforms. It underscores our commitment to preserving and promoting the history of gaming, while also providing unique learning opportunities.
  • Attracting Partnerships: By showcasing these classic games, Toska.dev can attract partnerships with gaming historians, educational institutions, and technology companies interested in the preservation and study of digital heritage.

4. Public Demand:

  • User Feedback: The removal of Doom and Quake has led to significant public outcry. Users have expressed their desire to see these games reinstated through various feedback channels. Listening to and acting upon user feedback is crucial for maintaining a positive relationship with our audience.
  • Community Support: Reinstating these games would demonstrate that Toska.dev values its community's opinions and is willing to adapt based on their needs and interests.

Conclusion:

Reintroducing Doom and Quake to Toska.dev aligns with our mission to support educational initiatives, foster community engagement, and differentiate our platform in the competitive landscape. These games offer substantial educational value, enhance user engagement, and meet the clear demand from our user base. We strongly recommend considering this request to reinstate Doom and Quake on Toska.dev.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Review user feedback regarding the removal of Doom and Quake.
  2. Assess the potential benefits of reinstating these games in terms of user engagement and educational value.
  3. Plan and implement the re-addition of Doom and Quake to Toska.dev.

Expected Outcome:

Increased user engagement, stronger community building, enhanced educational resources, and positive user feedback.
